Product Features
Technical Overview
This cable operates on the 25GBASE-CU standard, supporting data transfer speeds of 25 Gbit/s over copper twinaxial cabling. The passive design means it does not require external power, relying on the host device's SFP28 port for signal transmission, which enhances energy efficiency and reduces heat generation in dense network setups.
With a length of 3 meters (9.8 ft), it is optimized for connections within racks or between adjacent equipment, minimizing latency and signal degradation. The SFP28 connectors ensure high-density port utilization and are keyed for secure attachment, supporting hot-swappable functionality in compatible devices.
